Apart from fresh consumption, beetroot can be used in industrial processing for lyophilisation, freezing, canning, production of juices and concentrates.
The edible parts of beetroot are roots and fresh leaves. Fresh leaves contain more proteines and mineral salts than roots, but roots are rich in proteines, saccharides, mineral salts, vitamines from B-group and vitamine C. Moreover beetroots have special nutritious value thanks to a substantial content of fibre that positively affects our digestion.
